The aquatics center in @cityofcommerce is named after @brenda4villa for a reason. The 4x Olympian has made it her mission to increase community access to water polo, giving kids just like her the opportunity to shine in the water, too. 🤽♀️🌴 #LA28 bit.ly/BrendaVillaLA28

Access to water polo created so many opportunities for me and my community. I will forever be paying it forward in gratitude to the city that raised me and helped me dream big!

Rosh Hashanah is September 18-20. We want any participants who observe this holiday to still be able to take part in the swim. We’re encouraging everyone to swim on September 26th, but if you have a conflict on that day you can swim any day that week.

Every family should have access to a community pool in order to learn water safety. Stay tuned for my new project. #Aquatics4All #equityinaquatics
